The spring weather has become quite warm, and Golden Week (GW) is just around the corner! With the long holiday approaching, many of you are likely considering going out somewhere.

Events will be held in various locations during GW again this year! Today, we will introduce six GW events for which SUNNY SIDE UP GROUP handles PR and communications. 🌷

You can enjoy gourmet food and shopping at various spots. Please use this as a reference for your outings during the long holiday!

Meiji Jingu Gaien “Mori-no-Beer Garden”

First, we would like to introduce “Mori-no-Beer Garden,” currently operating at Meiji Jingu Gaien. 🍺

The highlight of Mori-no-Beer Garden is, without a doubt, the all-you-can-drink selection of seven types of draft beer and all-you-can-eat BBQ! The number of special prefabricated refrigerators customized for Mori-no-Beer Garden has been increased from two to four. You can enjoy ice-cold beers such as Kirin Ichiban Shibori, Ichiban Shibori Premium, and Heartland, as well as highballs, plain sours, and lemon highballs.

Furthermore, the food menu features American “Angus Beef,” known for its robust beef flavor, and satisfying thick-cut bacon.

Gathering with family and friends during GW to enjoy delicious beer and meat until you are full is a wonderful way to spend the holiday. 🍴
